will refer to $50 pear trees that l
sold to A. f. Kercheval, of Los An
geles, in 1881. He sold from these
trees, according to his books, in 1881
$35 worth, in 1882 500 worth, in 1883
$240 worth, in 1884 $500, and in 1885
$445. These trees have not made a
large growth, and some of them have
been damaged by gophers. This is
not large yield, but a fair one
Some of these trees yielded 81 and $S
worth each this year. The last four
years they have averaged $27l for
these $50 trees, on one and one-half
acres of land. These are facts, which
Mr.. Kercheval will verify.
Let us look at the demand there
would be for our grapes if the price in
the East were fixed at 6 cents per
pound. The producer can afford to
raise grapes at $25 per ton, which is
1Mc a pound, IL cents for freight,
IL cents for the retailer, which is Az
cents, with l = cents margin for con-
tingencies. Then just think that the
grapes we are shipping are superior to
any grape grown anywhere. In fact,
grapes that we produce in such
abundance cannot be produced in
the East, except under glass.

A TERRITORY without Laws.

Silver State: Last Winter the Legisla.
ture of Idaho Territory adopted a new
code of lawsand repealed the old statutes.
The authorities advertised for bids for
printing the new laws, and an Omaha
firm being the lowest bidder, was awarded
the contract. 1t appears that no time
was specified for the completion OF the
contract, and the Territory isb virtually
without laws, az the new statues have not
yet been printed. In consequence OF the
muddle caused by this state OF affairs, the
courts are at q loss TO determine what
grade Of crime offenders have been guilty
Of or what penalty shall be imposed upon
them, and the judicial officers have dis.
charged several persons. who were accused
of crime, because they did not know what
laws they had been charged with breaking

Yesterdays Blaze.

About hslf-past 4 o'clock yesterday
afternoon a fire broke out In q house on
the west side Of Main street, occupied by
Mrs. Sherman and her daughters. II was
frat seen by little Jimmy McElroy, who
gave the alarm TO Mrs. Sherman, who was
sitting at her front door. It was also
seen about the same time by parties who
we're al the San Francisco brewery. To
the latter the fire appeared to break out
through the roof. In q few minutes the
building was a mass OF flames, and soon be-
came q total wreck. The house and a por-
ton OF the furniture belonged to Frank
Abadie, and was insured last January for
$3.50. Mrs. Sherman had removed some
OF her furniture, but she estimates her
loss from $50 to $40. The wind was light
and blowing from the south. This, taken
in consideration with the fact that there is
a wide space between the burnt building
and those to the north of it. was fortunate.
As it WAS, Mrs. Tsylor's house, occupied
by G.. W. Green and family, became so hot
that but for blankets and a stream OF
water that was kept playing on it, 1t would
have caught on FIRE also, and the flames
would probably have spread rapidly to the
north and burnt a large portion Of the
town. Great credit ia due to the fire de-
partment for their prompt response to
the alarm, and the valiant manner In
which they fought the fierce flames.

Hans Keller and the wiaow

Enterprise: In the old days Of teaming
goods through to Aurora and Bodie, when
those towns had their virgin booms. an
old German named Hans Keller was on
the road with a ten-mule team. Most OF
the travel was then by way OF Sweetwater.
There were q number Of way stations on the
road In those days where could be found
good accommodation for both oman and
beast"
1t was presently observed by the other
teamsters on the road that Hans Keller
always stopped at the ranch Of a German
widow, where the stables aud corrals we're
dilspidated, and all other accommodations
seemed poor. II was not a regular station
for travellers or q wayside inn, as the
widow hung out no sign, but at this
place Hans always put up. though but
two miles away was the best and most
popular station on the road.
Soon the teamster friends Of Hans
Keller began to "josh" him about the
widow. They kept this up SO long, and
made il so hot for Hans in all companies
that he finally began to squirm under
their attacks. Hans told them that 1t
was not love for the widow, but her good
cookery-the fine living-that induced
him to stop at the little tumble-down

Ocean Pilots.

- f &
All ocean steamers a.. : &C Ii,Ian0eu Dy
men who have licenses as pilots for every
harbor along their routes. But there Is
another class of pilots who make it a
business to lie outside the harbor for
which they are specially licensed, to
watch for sailing vessels and steamships
coming from distance, or from foreign
ports.
Such pilot, we must explain to our
inland readers, takes entire charge OF out
going and incoming vessels, until they
have passed the dangers surrounding the
coast and harbors of our seas, lakes and
great tidal streams. The Captain OF
ship surrenders its control wholly to the
pilot while he is on board, on pain OF for
feiture of the insurance on the vessel In
case of disaster within that time.
There is no craft, perhaps, In this
country which is subject to more rigid
rules than this. The pilots, for ex-
ample, of Delaware Bay have for cen
tury been governed by certain inexora5le
customs, as binding as laws. Their bust
ness obliges them to be sober, intelligent,
keen-sighted, and readywitted men.
When not in charge of vessel, they are
on large pilot-boats, which lie outside OF
the capes, sometimes sixty miles at sea,
watching for vessels.
The pilots of New York bay and OF
Boston harbor go even farther out to sea,
and are sometimes met with from one to
two hundred miles from the land. They
are cruising about in the track of incom-
ing steamers, and almost always appear
in ample season to offer their services.
But if no pilot comes, the ship lies out
side the harbor and signals for one. The
corps on the pilot-boats have regular
turns, and the pilot to whose lot this ves-
sci falls is rowed out to her.
He is bound to answer the signal by
day or by night, in sunshine or in the
tiercest storm. Nothing but the absolute
certainty that the boat cannot live in the
sea running between him and the vessel
will release him from his obligation.
A boy who wishes to learn this bust
ness must serve an apprenticeship. For
Philadelphia pilots the term of appren-
ticeship is six years, during which time
the young man lives on the pilot-boats,
studying the channels, soundings and
dangers. Then, after year and half
of partial responsibility, he becomes a
pilot. Youths Companion.
